so i went to a fire show last night (like, performers who danced with fire) with some friends, and it got me thinking. so here are my
rtc fire headcanons
(ps this is longer than i thought itd be, be warned)
mischa is deathly afraid of fire
he has no idea why he just is
controlled flames, naked flames, matches, stoves, anything
this guy wont go within five feet of a candle
and only noel and ricky know because 'its not ganster to be scared of fire guys'
ricky knows because one time it was his birthday and everyone was sitting at his kitchen table for cake and mischa was sitting across from him
and ricky blew out the candles and, naturally, they leaned away from him as they went out
aka right in mischas face
homeboy was out of that chair like lightning
he played it off as getting cutlery and plates and stuff but ricky asked about it
noel knows because they were in mischas basement one time and he brought a candle (candle obsessed noel>>) and tried to light it
mischa was across the room
gone
my guy cant deal with them at all
he went to oceans house a total of one time and saw her parents incense sticks
he never went back
(ocean doesnt know why mischa avoids picking her place as a hang out spot but shes really grateful nonetheless)
moving on from mischa
noel is the opposite
everything is on fire at all times
he has candles everywhere in his room
he doesnt even need a main light at this point, the candles are everywhere
he has this one specially made candle that smells like striking a match/burning and he lights it all of the time
mischa is not a fan
boom olive theory
penny also loves fire
she likes to touch it, which freaks mischa out
he cant go near it, its almost like she has to
even noel tries to stop her, so you know its bad
one year ricky gets her a fake candle for her birthday
the ones you put batteries in and the 'flame' lights up and moves about, like you have around Christmas
penny loves it because now she can touch it and have a candle
no one lets her have real candles
or lets her be in noels room
ricky likes smoke
he likes it because it distorts the air above it, yk? everythings all wavy and not entirely clear
it reminds him that what youre seeing might not be whats really there
(it always reminds me of the mist from percy jackson, if you get what im saying?)
ocean hates smoke and fire and everything related to it
firstly, she has asthma
secondly, she gets awful headaches from scented candles
thirdly, it reminds her of how much fire is involved in her parents lifestyle. the smoking, the incense
she cant escape it at home, why would she go out of her way to find it away from home?
shes not scared though
constance is relatively neutral about fire
its fun, she loves sparklers and candles and fireworks
but she doesnt like being burned and stuff
onto the fun stuff:
fire shows specifically
mischa hates them
hes worried that the performers will drop the props, that he'll get burned, that theres fire right there!!
him and ocean stay near the back of the group at shows, he pretends to just be making sure shes okay
usually she is but sometimes the asthma and stuff catches up with her
ricky is mesmerised
he will stare at the fire, the dancers, everything is amazing to him
noel loves the fire, but you know what he loves more??
the costumes
they tend to wear black, leather, tight fitting, revealing costumes
he is obsessed, he wishes he could have them
penny likes copying the dancers
imagine them doing loads of stretches, turns and twists
and theres penny, doing the same
she loves it, its fun
constance makes sure she doesnt wander out into the performance area so she doesnt get burned
constance does the dances too though
its just good times all around
(noel watches saw '5' with mischa afterwards to make up for it though, this guy was dying)
